Summer is the hottest season of the year and it is important to take care of our bodies during times of extreme heat. So, along with sun protection methods, what are some supplements to help you stay healthy and active this summer?
Co-Enzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
During the summer, our body tends to heat up with the temperature around us. To maintain our body temperature, our body pumps more blood to the skin and increase sweat production to lose more excessive heat. However, this may result in increased blood pressure levels, which exposes us to risks like strokes.
Co-Enzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like substance that helps convert food into energy. Also known as CoQ10, research has proven that Co-Enzyme Q10 significantly reduces high blood pressure and stroke risks. As you age, it is important to supply Co-Enzyme Q10 to your body as the amount of CoQ10 drops as well as your body's ability to produce it. iNaturalNZ has a range of Co-Enzyme Q10 products to help you stay healthy by supplying Co-Enzyme Q10 to your body.

Omega-3
Taking care of your skin is also very important during summer. As well as putting on your hat, sunscreens and sunglasses, it is also important to take supplements that help protect your skin.
Omega-3 hydrates your skin and protect your skin from irritants and skin orders as they act like a skin barrier, sealing in moisture and keeping out the irritants. Omega-3 may also protect against sun damage, as studies show that a combination of 2 omega-3s (DHA and EPA) may reduce the skin's sensitivity to UV rays. iNaturalNZ has a range of krill oils and fish oils as well as other oils containing omega-3 to help your skin stay protected from the strong summer sun!
